The Winchester Model 1886 Lightweight Takedown Rifle

The Winchester Model 1886 Lightweight Takedown Rifle, chambered in 45-70, is a piece of American survival history. The 45-70 cartridge was used by the military for many years and packs quite a wallop. Modern versions of this gun are popping up on the market as manufacturer’s like Chiappa realize the value. Does your survival kit include a takedown gun that can easily fit in a backpack or vehicle?
